Hrm... I'm not sure what your actually problem is - whats wrong with

 $ mtn automate certs REVID

?

And if you don't like to parse basic_io, you could still use something like

 $ mtn ls certs REV | grep -A 1 changelog | grep -v changelog | \
        gawk -F: '{ print $2 }'

to retrieve the first line of a changelog entry.
